I am curious about the religious right response to this. Do they have to stop "praying" outside abortion providers now?

There’s a weird cluster of Ireland fans who seem to take genuine relish in Jacob Stockdale making an error in a way that just doesn’t happen to any other player and I have to wonder why… Did he have a good half, even before that yellow? No. Is he the worst performer out there? Far from it #IREvJPN

Anne Health response: NHS Sussex Investigation into WellBN GP Practice - Anne Healthcare We are deeply concerned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s updated Code of Practice which has been sent to Secretary of State, Bridget Philipson, this week.While presented as clarification,...

Please read this statement by Anne Health.

Trans children are being subjected by Sussex NHS to the physical torture of being forcibly detransitioned.

This is unnecessary cruelty and in my view constitutes torture, violence and child abuse on the part of NHS Sussex.

At the start of this series, was worried Ireland could lose 3 of 4 without meaningful squad development. After that half, I’m worried it’ll be 4 from 4 without meaningful development and, man, there’s some lads having poor games and all but the hubris from the coaches is palpable… #IREvJPN

US judge rules Trump’s National Guard deployment to Oregon ‘unlawful’ A court has permanently blocked the US president’s attempt to send troops to Portland.

A shockingly well-developed plan to disrupt and destroy facilities. Right-wing terrorists are terrorists. From demos outside the Dáil with a guillotine, to terrorising library staff, to vigilantes on the streets beating people, to pipe bombs. It’s an escalation and FFG need to take it seriously.

I watched this with my parents, and the scorn with which they reacted to the FG dude was surprising, in a good way. They know migrants are not the issue. The majority of people in Ireland know migrants aren't the problem.

Might be just me, but following recent revelations that Brian O'Driscoll is happy to take Zionist money the sight of him gives me the same visceral ick as seeing Bono.

Important PSA re: the way content about trans people is often incorrectly flagged as sexual or pornographic, worth considering as you choose your settings.

Apparently you may need to change these settings on both the app and desktop, so check that if you use both.

Given how Twitter filters worked, I also unchecked "misleading" content or "conspiracies" because again, these are flags conservatives use to spam legitimate news reporting, thus keeping you from seeing it if you have these filters on.

I will also note that these filters, as seems inevitable, wind up only filtering liberal leaning content. I have seen plenty of violent videos of ICE agents kidnapping people, despite pretty much every filter being on when I checked my settings. Apparently conservative violence doesn't count. 🙄

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

this thing hides posts it judges as ‘rude’, by some US standard. Thereby silencing most of the conversations in Ireland and Scotland, at least.

Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business.

Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging?

Thanks a mill.

Joey Barton convicted of sending grossly offensive social media posts | BreakingNews A jury found the 43-year-old had ‘crossed the line between free speech and a crime’ with six posts he made on X.

A tweet from Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis) reads: “Dr. Oz linking obesity to dementia while Trump’s slumped over at his desk is absolutely a choice...” Below is a photo from C-SPAN showing Dr. Oz speaking at the White House podium while Trump sits at the Resolute Desk, leaning back in his chair with eyes closed, surrounded by officials. The C-SPAN chyron reads: “TRUMP ANNOUNCES DEAL WITH PHARMACEUTICAL FIRMS FOR LOWER WEIGHT LOSS DRUG COSTS.”

First place I ever saw the nonsense term "biological pronouns" used was in a Genspect publication, so I'm afraid we Irish are implicated in this BS also.

Anyway, I will waste another hour of my life on this tomorrow & I live in hope of them offering some better resolution, but based on my experience so far, I absolutely could not recommend this company (which is a shame, as for environmental reasons, I wanted a refurb.)

Seller is offering a refund of €464.99 (cost of laptop) which they say may take up to 10 days to hit my account. I am expected to open separate cases to retrieve the €89.99 Microsoft 365/Windows 11 licence & the €49.99 1 year warranty on the laptop that they say never existed!

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue. These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action. Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company. Condé United members illegally fired are: Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit “Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

The paper is the "Irish" Mirror, the smear – now quietly withdrawn from their site – very much UK tabloid. Threats to burn their children and rape threats against his mother among a litany of abuse going back long before the article.
